Trials_joe Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 Very nice, But why did you take the stickers off?Cheers, joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reine Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 Nice to see another Czar bike! It looked really clean without the stickers, good to know if I might want to lose mine =)Isn't your bar a little low? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmanmatt Posted April 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 Because it looks neater and tidier than having bogey green stickers on there, and you know it joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe b Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 That is one really nice bike you got your hand on there, buddy! I think it looks so much nicer de-stickered and just plain old silver and black. Gives it a really simple. yet modern and stylish look! The tyres with the white stripe finish it off nicely too...How is the performance on those tyres anyway? I have heard different things about them.Cheers,Joe.

madmanmatt Posted April 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 Cheers dude, The tyres aren't that bad, they grip well but when slightly wet they do tend to slip quite a bit. I've had them a while and only just noticed them starting to wear down. Overall fairly good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Drewery Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 Nice, but I prefer the look of my Czar. Yours looks nice though, I think I may spray mine as I am bored of the silver colour. Something like red or yellow, a little different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Endohopper Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 That's lookin' really good , especially the uppermost photo where it looks almost insectile , poised and very light . That does it ...when my Base frame perishes , it's a Czar for me . Is yours long or short ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmanmatt Posted April 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 It's the longer version, I'm 5ft 6/7 but it's perfect for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shez.sheridan Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 What are Czar's like to ride - I'm currently riding a 20" 221ti, and I'm toying with the idea of buying a Czar from Tartybikes; as I'd like to see if I can improve any on a 26".What specs your bike...as if I buy one I'm not sure as to what spec to go for...eno freewheel or try & see if a king will fit?Cheers Derv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
